this is an age old question that dates back to king Auvergne in the gaul state of France. it shrinks because of the hyper comduenciation happening inside the egg. the salt water reacts with this so it shrinks, it also shrinks because the salt in the water kills the potential baby chicken inside the egg, once this space is not needed the egg contracts to keep from wasting space.
hope this helps you.

What happens if you put an egg in salt water for a week?
If you put an egg in salt water for a week, the egg will begin to undergo osmosis. The salt concentration in the water will cause water to move out of the egg, resulting in the egg shrinking and becoming smaller in size. The egg's membrane may also become translucent or appear to be semi-transparent.

What happens when you put an egg in tap water?
When an egg is submerged under tap water it will float. This is because water is more dense than the egg.
Why did density have to do with salt and egg float?
Put an egg in fresh water and it will sink. Put the egg in heavily salted water and it will float near the surface. This is because the salt makes the water more dense and able to support more weight. The same goes for a ship. A ship will settle lower in fresh water and the same ship will float higher in the oceans.
How does osmosis occur in an egg cell?
Osmosis occurs in an egg cell if you place it in liquids. If you put it in vinegar, the egg's shell will start to dissolve. Then, you can test osmosis in water or salt water. Because the egg is considered a cell, it will swell the egg cell with plain water (meaning it will increase the egg's mass). With salt water, the egg cell will shrink in mass.
